**"* P* <r*@comcast.net>**

Put your protest in writing. I just went to www.scotts.com and put my 
disgust in writing.
Of course, another way is an critical article.

If they receive enough garden communicators outrage and our vow to stop 
promoting
Scott's products...they might listen. At least, they will have a way to 
justify the drop in
sales when it happens!
